In the end, not bad enough to get a high pick and not good enough to win the Championship. Mediocrity is the worst position to be in in the NBA.

Orlando fans were pretty dang happy at the end of the season. I'll tell you that.

Your gambles are amongst the worst in the NBA year in and year out. You trade or sign guys for contracts that are long term crippling. Bargnani is the poster child for this. I really thought Alan Houston and Juwan Howard would've taught you guys a lesson, but nope. Still the same old Knicks coming up short year after year. I'm a sucker for cheering for those heartbreakers though. I like pulling for you in the playoffs.

Chandler won DPOY... Kidd was fine in the reg. season. KMart was pretty good too.

The Knicks had an amazing year last year. They just didn't execute in the Pacers series. That's it.

The team won 54 games and returns a very similar squad. I understand that BK and CHI are better but the core is still intact and they should threaten for 50 wins again, with a bad Bargs or a good Bargs.

Your future is invested in old expensive injury prone has beens. Good luck with that. You have no chance with the draft.

We are playing this year and next year with a core of Melo, Chandler, Felton, and possibly Amare. And Shumpert.

This year, at worst, we'll be a low playoff seed in the East. That means the Nuggets will get a pick in the late teens or 20s in 2014.

In the 2014 season, we'll go with that same core and likely make the playoffs again. Chandler/Melo are a formidable top 2.

After that, we have just FOUR guys under contract for a good 2015 class. A whopping 14 mil invested. We'll be able to afford Melo, another max contract, and possibly a third big contract - maybe Chandler (I'm not great with the cap but just look at the math from now... Amare's 23 and Bargs' 12 are completely gone).

But in 2015 they'll have loads of cap space to sign the best free agents. I do think NY is a great selling point especially with Melo there (I believe he'll re-sign and attract at least one other good-to-great, pipe-dream-but-not-really-LeBron player).

So no. I don't think 2015 will be medicority. You can't say that with any certainty. Too much will happen from now until then and they will absolutely be an attractive landing spot for 2-3 free agents, possibly big-time guys.

And we can't amnesty Amare.

And I'd love Larkin. Dallas is signing a million PGs the least they could do is give the kid a shot here...

I'd probably be willing to run this or at least help with it if we can start next week and there is enough interest.

i would definitely help you/participate. i think, depending on the no. of participants, we should restrict the draft pool in some way. if we have 8 people drafting then everyone's team is going to be loaded. for example we can only take 2 max level players or some ****.

also have we talked about the mike miller amnesty yet? last time i was on the forum we were 3 pages back

Absolutely, I think we've had a draft or two with just a straight up salary cap and that was pretty fun. Doesn't really matter to me, very open to suggestions.
